    Football - why I ultimately believe in Arnette

    https://twitter.com/HailStateFB/stat...079139329?s=20


    Somebody please embed for me. Turn the volume up. This is why I believe in Arnett. He's going to make some mistakes, But we finally have a coach that brings the fire, the intensity, the passion. And it bleeds through his players. If you can't feel it watching this, you never had one of these kind of men coaching you while you were younger. It makes me want to suit back up.

    Quick Arnett story: It was late January/early February and CZA was on a HS visit just hanging out with the coaches. Unbeknownst to Arnett they were having a little get-together/pizza party thing that day. The pizza arrives and the coaches send some football players out to the delivery guy, to help him bring in 40-50 pizzas. Arnett gets up from his seat and says, (paraphrasing) "hey I'm not doing anything I'll help". Goes out and helps the guys bring in stacks of pizza. Jokingly, the comment was made "highest paid pizza delivery guy in the state (probably on earth)". I cant name very many SEC HC's who would do that, organically, without it being disingenuous and fake. The guy honestly doesn't know that he is a big deal now.
    Everyone wants to be a beast...until its time to do what beasts do.

    Arnette probably realizes he's a big deal but doesn't like it and will probably go out of his way not to be that way. That's an awesome story and thanks for sharing.

    There are some things that are going to happen that I think a lot of y'all will like very much. Bringing back a few things from the past.

    He really is one of us. Had conversations with him myself at clinics, just me and him for 15-20 mins. More detailed than just about any other coach I have met. Im a Arnett guy. 22 was his best year yet, partly bc the safeties group was just better and the fact that he coached them, it made him tweak a little bit realizing what we asked them to do in 20 and 21 was good on paper but really hard on the field

    Arnett isn't officially our head coach until our fans start adding an "s" to his name. See, e.g., Crooms, Sylvester and Mullins, Dan.
